Brumm! Brumm!! Bum!

I started the new Piazza last night- installed a battery, cleaned the terminals, and (eventually) remembered to plug the engine computer back in.

RRRrr, RRRrrr, went the starter.

Zzzzzzzz! went the fuel pump.

Vroooom!! went the engine.

Sssss, Sssss went the turbo.

Pop! went the alternator.

Fuck! said Growler.

Ha Ha, your alternator's smoking, said my spunky neighbour, David.

(David replaced the alternator in his truck a couple of days ago, as I watched, amused. Karma, anyone?)
